no, i am a huge sucker for 'aloof character learns to lean on others and makes it through trials via the power of love and friendship and really supportive hugs' actually.

that, and enemies to lovers. she is orlesian, after all.

#oc: annette trevelyan #commander cullen #cullen rutherford #romancing him with a noble who actively chose to go adopt orlais as her home country was definitely a choice #it was very fun! for me!#not only do they have ye olde class differences but they've got some big honkin cultural differences too #but ngl its been fun fleshing out headcanons of what a trevelyan who actively embraces politics might look like #for all the game is like. 'international politics! you're playing them!' it doesnt really let you... do that.#like. annette likes politics. she likes playing diplomat. im sorry but she'd rather negotiate with some lord than pull out daggers #shed rather not kill half of southern thedas in her quest to put it back together.#pretty sure the only four people she truly wants to see dead are gaspard erimond corypheus and thom rainier #and that last one was for specific plot reasons #plot reasons that actually finally got me to like him. which is so funny.#i was meh on him until my main oc was like 'fuck this guy'#given she marries cullen who arguably has more blood on his hands it is fun to play with her blindspots #its just. she knew the calliers. so thom's crimes are personal. cullen's are more distant to her #idk. annette and cullen are just fun. they're so different. so many different experiences. different viewpoints. they're crunchy #cullen should have been a rivalmance is all im saying #let me call him out on his bullshit! let me argue with him bioware #vultures and dragons #why do i save all my essays for the tags? inquiring minds want to know. including mine. i am inquiring.#ship: took fuck orlesians too literally #world state: gilt and glamour
